Sitting on the edge of the world, Sydney is considered as one of the world’s greatest cities. Here are some things you should do and see in Sydney.
Explore Sydney’s hottest neighborhood
Many big-ticket attractions can be found in or around the Circular Quay area, right by the port. Here, you can get on ferries(轮渡) to faraway islands or go exploring on foot with the Sydney Opera House, Royal Botanic Gardens and Museum of Contemporary all nearby.
Take side trips
Popular among outdoor types, the rough Blue Mountains—about two hours by train west of the city—promises winter skiing, excellent hiking and kangaroo sightings. Walking through the national park, travelers will watch forests, waterfalls, natural caves, small villages and rock formations.
The Hunter valley, just a two-hour drive north of Sydney, is Australia’s oldest wine region. Most vineyards(葡萄园) are family-owned, focusing on small production. Wine is more personal here.
Stay in style
The classic Langham Hotel is located just west of Circular Quay, offering easy access to the famous port.
As you explore its beautiful corridors(走廊), look for contemporary artworks from around the world—The Langham Hotel has the largest art gathering (more than $1 million worth) in Australia.
Meanwhile, those looking for a more relaxed experience can go camping on Cockatoo Island—just a quick boat ride from Circular Quay.
Travel tips
• Leaving tips at the bar or for a taxi isn’t expected, but it’s appreciated.
• When riding in a taxi alone, it’s customary to sit in the front seat.
• Bring sun cream, sunglasses and hat—whatever the season.
• On Sundays, families enjoy discounted(打折) fares on Sydney’s ferries and trains.
21.What can you do in the Blue Mountains?
A.Explore the artificial caves. B.Watch the lovely kangaroos.
C.Taste locally produced wine. D.Enjoy the unique corridors.
22.What makes the Langham Hotel special?
A.Its ideal location. B.Its first-class service.
C.Its big collection of artworks. D.Its modem architectural style.
23.Which of the following is strongly suggested about touring Sydney?
A.Ensure sun protection. B.Offer bar tips.
C.Sit behind the driver in a taxi. D.Travel by train.
B
Alaska’s Yukon River has faced major salmon shortages in recent years. Officials say record-high temperatures last year killed most salmon in the 3,200-kilometer river before the fish were able to reproduce(繁殖). The losses led Alaska to stop their salmon harvests in 2021 to make sure that enough fish survived to reproduce for another year.
The poor salmon harvests caused major financial（财政的，金融的） losses to private fishing companies in the area. The die-offs also hurt native communities, which traditionally store the fish as a year-round food supply.
Last month, the U.S. Department of Commerce declared a disaster for Yukon River fishing for 2020 and 2021, making aid（援助） money available. Alaska has sent emergency fish shipments to areas affected（影响） by the salmon shortages.
Scientists have mostly blamed the problems on a series of heat waves in the Bering Sea and North Pacific Ocean from 2014 to 2019. The warm ocean waters affected salmon’s living in the sea before they returned to lay eggs.
Climate change may also be affecting what the salmon are eating. Fishing experts say young salmon are likely filling up on nutrient-poor food because warmer waters drive away healthier organisms (有机物) they normally feed on. “In my opinion, the salmon are starving（挨饿） with climate change,” said Brooke Woods in the Yukon River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission.
The effects of climate change on freshwater environments have also been studied. Vanessa von Biela is a biologist who looked at the rivers, streams and lakes where salmon live. Her team found that Chinook salmon show heat stress at temperatures above 18℃. They start dying above 20℃. In 2019, temperatures on the Alaskan side were above 18℃ for 44 straight days, a recent study found.
The effects of warming waters can be reduced by climate-driven glacier (冰川) runoff（径流）which brings cooler water into rivers and streams. But scientists still expect salmon to begin slowly moving to new areas within Alaska. “Salmon will find a way,” said Biela. “but it’s going to be hard for communities in places where there might not be salmon anymore.”
24.What do the locals depend on salmon for?
A.Food supply. B.Scientific study.
C.Green tourism. D.Water improvement.
25.What did the declaration of the disaster bring about?
A.Financial losses. B.Relief funds.（救济金）
C.Economic growth. D.Fast delivery.
26.Which of the following is the effect of climate change in Yukon River?
A.No healthy organisms are left there.
B.Salmon there lose the ability to lay eggs.
C.Salmon there go short of nutritious food.
D.The temperature remains above 18℃ till now.
27.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Measures to protect salmon are effective.
B.Salmon will not find a way out of the crisis.
C.The amount of salmon will increase greatly.
D.Salmon are likely to leave the river for survival.
C
When we see a person in trouble, the first idea that comes to our mind is to lend a hand. But what if we see an animal in trouble, does the same rule apply?
This question was raised after a group of penguins (企鹅) were saved from an icy gully (峡谷) in Antarctica. It was filmed for the BBC wildlife series Dynasties. The film crew were anxious when they saw that a group of penguins had fallen into a gully and been trapped with their young. They built a slope (斜坡) so that a few of the penguins could save themselves.
The case has taken the international media by storm. Viewers watching this film sighed in relief. “I’m so glad. I understand not taking action directly, but a helping hand isn’t bothering, right?” viewer Kathryn Shaw said on her Facebook.
However, others think human interference (干涉) is unnatural. “You can’t have sunshine throughout your life. To have done anything else would only make matters worse.” said the show’s creator David Attenborough, according to The Times.
In this case, however, Mike Gunton, said that this was a one-off（一次性的） situation. “There were no animals going to suffer by interfering. You weren’t touching the animals and it was just felt by doing this …They had the chance not to have to keep slipping down the slope.” he told the BBC．
Such cases are familiar to Paul Nicklen, wildlife photographer for National Geographic. He told Metro, “If it’s ever a predator (捕食者) situation, no matter how gut-wrenching, you stay out of the way. Even when you’re watching a male polar bear eat a baby bear.”
“There’s no rule book in those situations. You can only respond to the facts that are right there in front of you.” Will Lawson, the show’s director, told Daily Mail.
28.What has led to a heated media discussion?
A.The rescue of penguins from a gully.
B.People’s various opinions on penguins.
C.Some penguins’ sufferings in a gully.
D.Ways of filming the series Dynasties.
29.Who holds a positive attitude towards human interference?
A.David Attenborough. B.Will Lawson.
C.Paul Nicklen. D.Kathryn Shaw.
30.Which of the following best explains the word “gutwrenching” underlined in
Paragraph 6?
A.Making one confused. B.Making one heartbroken.
C.Putting one in danger. D.Making one amazed.
31.What can be the best title for the text?
A.Necessity of Lending a Hand to Animals
B.Protect Animals From Dying Out
C.Human Interference on Dangerous Animals
D.Help Animals in Trouble or Not
D
Learning to say “yes, and”
When I first heard about the improvisation (即兴交流) class, I was hesitating. As a quiet and shy girl, I feared improvising in front of strangers. However, I knew I wanted to work as a science communicator after finishing my Ph.D．, so it seemed like a perfect chance to learn how to speak and communicate with others effectively. I signed up, knowing the experience would give me help.
During our first class, we learned an important concept of improvisation: “yes, and.” It means that, as improvisers, we’d better accept what fellow performers say. If someone says that rhinos (犀牛) are librarians, for example, then rhinos are librarians. We do not question the logic; we say “yes” and then continue with the scene as if nothing is wrong.
The first few scenes were hard, but as weeks turned into months, I became more comfortable and even started to enjoy our classes. I became better at listening, relating to my conversation partners, and communicating clearly in the moment. Once when I was giving a presentation about my science, an audience member surprised me with a question that didn’t grow out of the information I’d presented. Instead of getting confused and nervous, I took the “yes, and” approach（方法）—accepting the question and letting my mind focus on why it was asked. That helped me find a good answer. I got pretty excited about it.
The benefits of improvisation go beyond communication. Before attending the class, I would get stuck when my experiments produced unexpected data（数据）, thinking that I had made a mistake. But now, instead of getting discouraged, I will stay open to the possibility that the results are real, keep exploring the data and end up identifying（确认） a new type of cell—one that isn’t behaving as expected.
I think all scientists can benefit from this lesson. If the data say rhinos are librarians, then it’s worth finding out whether rhinos are, in fact, librarians. As scientists, our job isn’t to challenge data that support, a preconceived story, but to say “yes, and.”
32.Why did the author attend the improvisation class?
A.To get a different experience.
B.To finish her Ph.D. at university.
C.To give up her job as a science communicator.
D.To improve her speaking and communicating ability.
33.What was the author’s change after attending the improvisation class?
A.She formed her own idea quickly.
B.She came up with lots of creative responses.
C.She paid more attention to the logic of answers.
D.She became a good listener before giving an opinion.
34.The author mentions applying the “yes, and” approach to her scientific experiments to ____.
A.explain the process of using the method
B.prove the benefits of the improvisation class
C.share her own research experiences with readers
D.attract fellow scientists to attend the improvisation class
35.What can be inferred about scientists from the last paragraph?
A.They should attend the improvisation class.
B.They should question all preconceived ideas.
C.They should carry on research by admitting earlier data.
D.They should try to improve their academic knowledge.

The science teacher, Mr. Moose, decided that the school would have a paper airplane contest. Each student would design a paper airplane. And then they would take turns throwing their airplanes. The student whose airplane flew the farthest would win.
When Mr. Moose announced the paper airplane contest, all the students were very excited. Paul, who was on the wrestling team, said to other students: “I am the strongest. And I will be able to throw my airplane the farthest.”
However, another student, Brian, was thinking how he could win. He did not play any sports and was not very strong. But he loved airplanes and really wanted to win the contest.
Brian knew what he had to do. He went to the store and bought a big stack of paper. When he got home, he took the paper into the backyard. He took a piece of paper and folded an airplane. It didn't go very far, so Brian took another sheet and folded another airplane and threw it. This airplane went a little farther. Brian kept folding different kinds of airplanes and throwing them. Some went very far and some did not. Finally, when Brian had used all the paper, he walked up to the airplane that had flown the farthest and picked it up.

第一段：
Finally, it was Brian's turn. Brian took the airplane that he had folded the day before. He walked up to the line and,with all his strength, he threw the plane. It went flying, farther and farther, until finally it landed 10 feet past Paul's plane! The whole school cheered. Brian won the contest. Mr Moose gave him a prize:a toy airplane.
第二段：
Brian won because he tried out many solutions to the problem of how to make an airplane fly very far. He did this by testing out many different designs and comparing the results. When he found the design that worked best and the paper airplane that flew the farthest, he was happy to use it.

17-20【原文】M: I’m going to talk about an activity that I enjoy doing, and that’s fishing. Actually, I think someone said that fishing’s the most popular hobby in the world. So how do I get ready? Well, if you go fishing, first you have to get up early. Then you need to pack all your equipment and that includes, er, like a long, thin stick, a box to put the fish in and some little things that you need to attract the fish. Also, you need to take some warm clothes. And lastly, you need to take something to drink and maybe a sandwich because you can get hungry. There are lots of places where you can go fishing. Some people go to rivers or lakes, but I live near the beach, so I fish in a small boat. I wear a life jacket (救生衣) ,because I usually boat out to sea alone—about a kilometer—so people can’t always see me. Sometimes it may be dangerous. However, fishing is really quite simple. You just sit and wait. I love it mainly because it’s so peaceful. Also, it’s very exciting when you catch something. All in all, it’s a wonderful activity—it’s like a sport, but you’re just competing with yourself or with the natural world.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是阿拉斯加育空河近年来面临鲑鱼严重短缺的问题，科学家们大多将这些问题归咎于气候变化。
24.细节理解题。根据第二段的“The die-offs also hurt native communities, which traditionally store the fish as a year-round food supply(这些鱼类的死广也对当地社区造成了伤害，当地传统上储存这些鱼类作为全年的食物供应。)”可知，当地人靠解鱼来作为食物供应。故选A。
25.细节理解题。根据第三段的“Last month,the U.S.Department of Commerce declared a disaster for Yukon River fishing for 2020 and 2021, making aid money available(上个月，美国商务部宣布育空河渔业在2020年和2021年处于灾难状态，使得援助资金被获得。)”可知，灾难的声明带来了救援资金。故选B。
26.细节理解题。根据倒数第三段的“Climate change may also be affecting what the salmon are eating. Fishing experts say young salmon are likely filling up on nutrient-poor food because warmer waters drive away healthier organisms they normally feed on.(气候变化也可能影响鲑鱼的饮食。渔业专家说，年幼的鲑鱼可能会吃营养不良的食物，因为温暖的海水赶走了它们通常赖以为生的健康生物。)”可知，YukonRiver的气候变化的影响是那里的鲑鱼缺乏营养食物。故选C。
27.推理判断题。根据最后一段的“But scientists still expect salmon to begin slowlymoving to new areas within Alaska.(但科学家仍然预计鲑鱼会开始缓慢地迁移到阿拉斯加的新地区。)”可知，鲑鱼很可能为了生存而离开这条河流。故选D。
C篇
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了当动物们面临危险时，我们是否要伸出援救之手，以及如何去保护它们脱险。
28．细节理解题。根据第二段的“The film crew were anxious when they saw that a group of penguins had fallen into a gully and been trapped with their young. They built a slope (斜坡) so that a few of the penguins could save themselves.(当摄制组看到一群企鹅和它们的幼崽掉进沟里被困在一起时，他们非常焦虑。他们建了一个斜坡，好让几只企鹅能自救。)”和第三段的“The case has taken the international media by storm.(这起案件引起了国际媒体的广泛关注。)”可知，从峡谷中救出企鹅这一事件引起了大家的热议。故选A。
29．推理判断题。根据第三段的““I’m so glad. I understand not taking action directly, but a helping hand isn’t bothering, right?” viewer Kathryn Shaw said on her Facebook.(“我很高兴。我理解不直接采取行动，但伸出援助之手并不麻烦，对吧？”观众Kathryn Shaw在她的脸书上说。)”可推知，Kathryn Shaw对帮助动物是很赞成的，故选D。
30．词句猜测题。根据上文语境大家对干涉动物的行为有不同观点，结合下文的“you stay out of the way. Even when you’re watching a male polar bear eat a baby bear(你给我闪开。即使你在看一只雄性北极熊吃掉一只幼熊)”可知，这是个捕食的情景，无论你是多么的心碎，你都不能干预。结合四个选项可知，gutwrenching意为“令人痛苦的”，和Making one heartbroken(令人心碎)意思相近，故选B。
31．主旨大意题。阅读文章，并结合第一段“When we see a person in trouble, the first idea that comes to our mind is to lend a hand. But what if we see an animal in trouble, does the same rule apply?(当我们看到一个人有麻烦时，我们想到的第一个想法是伸出援手。但是，如果我们看到一只动物陷入困境，同样的规则也适用吗？)”和第二段“This question was raised after a group of penguins (企鹅) were saved from an icy gully (峡谷) in Antarctica.(这个问题是在一群企鹅从南极洲的冰沟中获救后提出的。)”可知，本文就救助企鹅的视频引发的热议讲述了当动物面临危险时，我们是否要伸出援救之手，以及如何去保护它们脱险。因此，本文的最佳标题应为D选项“Help Animals in Trouble or Not(是否帮助有困难的动物)”。故选D。
D篇
32．细节理解题。根据第一段关键句“As a quiet and shy girl, I feared improvising in front of strangers. However, I knew I wanted to work as a science communicator after finishing my Ph.D., so it seemed like a perfect chance to learn how to speak and communicate with others effectively. I signed up, knowing the experience would give me help.”（作为一个安静害羞的女孩，我害怕在陌生人面前即兴交流。然而，我知道我想在完成博士学位后成为一名科学交流者，因此，这似乎是一个学习如何有效地与他人交谈和沟通的绝佳机会。我报名了，因为我知道这段经历会给我帮助）可知，因为作者打算的完成博士学位后成为一名科学交流者，需要提高与他人交谈和沟通的能力，但她一个安静害羞的女孩，她参加即兴交流课是想要提高自己的交谈和沟通的能力，由此可知，作者参加即兴交流课是为了提高她的交谈和沟通能力。故选D项。
33．细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“The first few scenes were hard, but as weeks turned into months, I became more comfortable and even started to enjoy our classes. I became better at listening, relating to my conversation partners, and communicating clearly in the moment.”（最初的几个场景很难，但随着上了几个月课后，我变得更舒服了，甚至开始享受我们的课程。我变得更善于倾听，更善于与我的谈话伙伴交流，也更善于在这一刻清晰地沟通）可知，在上了几周课后，作者变得更善于倾听，更善于与谈话伙伴交流，也更善于清晰地沟通，由此可知，作者参加即兴交流课后的变化是：在发表意见之前，她成了一个很好的倾听者。故选D项。
34．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段关键句“Before attending the class, I would get stuck when my experiments produced unexpected data, thinking that I had made a mistake. But now, instead of getting discouraged, I will stay open to the possibility that the results are real, keep exploring the data and end up identifying a new type of cell—one that isn’t behaving as expected.”（在上课之前，当我的实验产生意想不到的数据时，我会被卡住，觉得自己犯了一个错误。但是现在，我不会灰心，而是会对结果是真实的可能性保持开放态度，继续探索数据，最终发现一种新类型的细胞——一种不符合预期的细胞）和最后一段关键句“I think all scientists can benefit from this lesson.”（我认为所有的科学家都能从这个课中受益）可知，运用了“yes, and”方法，让作者在进行科学实验的过程中受益，她会对意想不到的结果持开放态度，继续研究，最终有了意想不到的科学发现，她认为所有的科学家都能从这个课中受益，由此可知，作者提到在她的科学实验中运用“yes, and”的方法是为了证明即兴交流课的好处。故选B项。
35．推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“If the data say rhinos are librarians, then it’s worth finding out whether rhinos are, in fact, librarians. As scientists, our job isn’t to challenge data that support, a preconceived story, but to say “yes, and.””（如果数据显示犀牛是图书管理员，那么就有必要了解犀牛是否是图书管理员。作为科学家，我们的工作不是去挑战支持一个事先形成的描述的数据，而是说“yes, and”）可知，作者认为面对之前的科学数据，我们的工作并不是去挑战它，而是要接受它，并继续研究，探索真伪，由此可知，从最后一段可以推断出科学家应该通过接受早期数据进行研究。故选C项。

Sitting on the edge of the world, Sydney is considered as one of the world’s greatest cities. Here are some things you should do and see in Sydney.
Explore Sydney’s hottest neighborhood
Many big-ticket attractions can be found in or around the Circular Quay area, right by the port. Here, you can get on ferries(轮渡) to faraway islands or go exploring on foot with the Sydney Opera House, Royal Botanic Gardens and Museum of Contemporary all nearby.
Take side trips
Popular among outdoor types, the rough Blue Mountains—about two hours by train west of the city—promises winter skiing, excellent hiking and kangaroo sightings. Walking through the national park, travelers will watch forests, waterfalls, natural caves, small villages and rock formations.
The Hunter valley, just a two-hour drive north of Sydney, is Australia’s oldest wine region. Most vineyards(葡萄园) are family-owned, focusing on small production. Wine is more personal here.
Stay in style
The classic Langham Hotel is located just west of Circular Quay, offering easy access to the famous port.
As you explore its beautiful corridors(走廊), look for contemporary artworks from around the world—The Langham Hotel has the largest art gathering (more than $1 million worth) in Australia.
Meanwhile, those looking for a more relaxed experience can go camping on Cockatoo Island—just a quick boat ride from Circular Quay.
Travel tips
• Leaving tips at the bar or for a taxi isn’t expected, but it’s appreciated.
• When riding in a taxi alone, it’s customary to sit in the front seat.
• Bring sun cream, sunglasses and hat—whatever the season.
• On Sundays, families enjoy discounted(打折) fares on Sydney’s ferries and trains.
21.What can you do in the Blue Mountains?
A.Explore the artificial caves. B.Watch the lovely kangaroos.
C.Taste locally produced wine. D.Enjoy the unique corridors.
22.What makes the Langham Hotel special?
A.Its ideal location. B.Its first-class service.
C.Its big collection of artworks. D.Its modem architectural style.
23.Which of the following is strongly suggested about touring Sydney?
A.Ensure sun protection. B.Offer bar tips.
C.Sit behind the driver in a taxi. D.Travel by train.
B
Alaska’s Yukon River has faced major salmon shortages in recent years. Officials say record-high temperatures last year killed most salmon in the 3,200-kilometer river before the fish were able to reproduce(繁殖). The losses led Alaska to stop their salmon harvests in 2021 to make sure that enough fish survived to reproduce for another year.
The poor salmon harvests caused major financial（财政的，金融的） losses to private fishing companies in the area. The die-offs also hurt native communities, which traditionally store the fish as a year-round food supply.
Last month, the U.S. Department of Commerce declared a disaster for Yukon River fishing for 2020 and 2021, making aid（援助） money available. Alaska has sent emergency fish shipments to areas affected（影响） by the salmon shortages.
Scientists have mostly blamed the problems on a series of heat waves in the Bering Sea and North Pacific Ocean from 2014 to 2019. The warm ocean waters affected salmon’s living in the sea before they returned to lay eggs.
Climate change may also be affecting what the salmon are eating. Fishing experts say young salmon are likely filling up on nutrient-poor food because warmer waters drive away healthier organisms (有机物) they normally feed on. “In my opinion, the salmon are starving（挨饿） with climate change,” said Brooke Woods in the Yukon River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission.
The effects of climate change on freshwater environments have also been studied. Vanessa von Biela is a biologist who looked at the rivers, streams and lakes where salmon live. Her team found that Chinook salmon show heat stress at temperatures above 18℃. They start dying above 20℃. In 2019, temperatures on the Alaskan side were above 18℃ for 44 straight days, a recent study found.
The effects of warming waters can be reduced by climate-driven glacier (冰川) runoff（径流）which brings cooler water into rivers and streams. But scientists still expect salmon to begin slowly moving to new areas within Alaska. “Salmon will find a way,” said Biela. “but it’s going to be hard for communities in places where there might not be salmon anymore.”
24.What do the locals depend on salmon for?
A.Food supply. B.Scientific study.
C.Green tourism. D.Water improvement.
25.What did the declaration of the disaster bring about?
A.Financial losses. B.Relief funds.（救济金）
C.Economic growth. D.Fast delivery.
26.Which of the following is the effect of climate change in Yukon River?
A.No healthy organisms are left there.
B.Salmon there lose the ability to lay eggs.
C.Salmon there go short of nutritious food.
D.The temperature remains above 18℃ till now.
27.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Measures to protect salmon are effective.
B.Salmon will not find a way out of the crisis.
C.The amount of salmon will increase greatly.
D.Salmon are likely to leave the river for survival.
C
When we see a person in trouble, the first idea that comes to our mind is to lend a hand. But what if we see an animal in trouble, does the same rule apply?
This question was raised after a group of penguins (企鹅) were saved from an icy gully (峡谷) in Antarctica. It was filmed for the BBC wildlife series Dynasties. The film crew were anxious when they saw that a group of penguins had fallen into a gully and been trapped with their young. They built a slope (斜坡) so that a few of the penguins could save themselves.
The case has taken the international media by storm. Viewers watching this film sighed in relief. “I’m so glad. I understand not taking action directly, but a helping hand isn’t bothering, right?” viewer Kathryn Shaw said on her Facebook.
However, others think human interference (干涉) is unnatural. “You can’t have sunshine throughout your life. To have done anything else would only make matters worse.” said the show’s creator David Attenborough, according to The Times.
In this case, however, Mike Gunton, said that this was a one-off（一次性的） situation. “There were no animals going to suffer by interfering. You weren’t touching the animals and it was just felt by doing this …They had the chance not to have to keep slipping down the slope.” he told the BBC．
Such cases are familiar to Paul Nicklen, wildlife photographer for National Geographic. He told Metro, “If it’s ever a predator (捕食者) situation, no matter how gut-wrenching, you stay out of the way. Even when you’re watching a male polar bear eat a baby bear.”
“There’s no rule book in those situations. You can only respond to the facts that are right there in front of you.” Will Lawson, the show’s director, told Daily Mail.
28.What has led to a heated media discussion?
A.The rescue of penguins from a gully.
B.People’s various opinions on penguins.
C.Some penguins’ sufferings in a gully.
D.Ways of filming the series Dynasties.
29.Who holds a positive attitude towards human interference?
A.David Attenborough. B.Will Lawson.
C.Paul Nicklen. D.Kathryn Shaw.
30.Which of the following best explains the word “gutwrenching” underlined in
Paragraph 6?
A.Making one confused. B.Making one heartbroken.
C.Putting one in danger. D.Making one amazed.
31.What can be the best title for the text?
A.Necessity of Lending a Hand to Animals
B.Protect Animals From Dying Out
C.Human Interference on Dangerous Animals
D.Help Animals in Trouble or Not
D
Learning to say “yes, and”
When I first heard about the improvisation (即兴交流) class, I was hesitating. As a quiet and shy girl, I feared improvising in front of strangers. However, I knew I wanted to work as a science communicator after finishing my Ph.D．, so it seemed like a perfect chance to learn how to speak and communicate with others effectively. I signed up, knowing the experience would give me help.
During our first class, we learned an important concept of improvisation: “yes, and.” It means that, as improvisers, we’d better accept what fellow performers say. If someone says that rhinos (犀牛) are librarians, for example, then rhinos are librarians. We do not question the logic; we say “yes” and then continue with the scene as if nothing is wrong.
The first few scenes were hard, but as weeks turned into months, I became more comfortable and even started to enjoy our classes. I became better at listening, relating to my conversation partners, and communicating clearly in the moment. Once when I was giving a presentation about my science, an audience member surprised me with a question that didn’t grow out of the information I’d presented. Instead of getting confused and nervous, I took the “yes, and” approach（方法）—accepting the question and letting my mind focus on why it was asked. That helped me find a good answer. I got pretty excited about it.
The benefits of improvisation go beyond communication. Before attending the class, I would get stuck when my experiments produced unexpected data（数据）, thinking that I had made a mistake. But now, instead of getting discouraged, I will stay open to the possibility that the results are real, keep exploring the data and end up identifying（确认） a new type of cell—one that isn’t behaving as expected.
I think all scientists can benefit from this lesson. If the data say rhinos are librarians, then it’s worth finding out whether rhinos are, in fact, librarians. As scientists, our job isn’t to challenge data that support, a preconceived story, but to say “yes, and.”
32.Why did the author attend the improvisation class?
A.To get a different experience.
B.To finish her Ph.D. at university.
C.To give up her job as a science communicator.
D.To improve her speaking and communicating ability.
33.What was the author’s change after attending the improvisation class?
A.She formed her own idea quickly.
B.She came up with lots of creative responses.
C.She paid more attention to the logic of answers.
D.She became a good listener before giving an opinion.
34.The author mentions applying the “yes, and” approach to her scientific experiments to ____.
A.explain the process of using the method
B.prove the benefits of the improvisation class
C.share her own research experiences with readers
D.attract fellow scientists to attend the improvisation class
35.What can be inferred about scientists from the last paragraph?
A.They should attend the improvisation class.
B.They should question all preconceived ideas.
C.They should carry on research by admitting earlier data.
D.They should try to improve their academic knowledge.

The science teacher, Mr. Moose, decided that the school would have a paper airplane contest. Each student would design a paper airplane. And then they would take turns throwing their airplanes. The student whose airplane flew the farthest would win.
When Mr. Moose announced the paper airplane contest, all the students were very excited. Paul, who was on the wrestling team, said to other students: “I am the strongest. And I will be able to throw my airplane the farthest.”
However, another student, Brian, was thinking how he could win. He did not play any sports and was not very strong. But he loved airplanes and really wanted to win the contest.
Brian knew what he had to do. He went to the store and bought a big stack of paper. When he got home, he took the paper into the backyard. He took a piece of paper and folded an airplane. It didn't go very far, so Brian took another sheet and folded another airplane and threw it. This airplane went a little farther. Brian kept folding different kinds of airplanes and throwing them. Some went very far and some did not. Finally, when Brian had used all the paper, he walked up to the airplane that had flown the farthest and picked it up.

According to the plan，the class meeting will begin at 4 pm next Monday and end at 5∶30 pm.With the aim of easing the tensions between parents and their children, thus enhancing their relationship, we hope that you can give us some suggestions. I’m sure we will learn a lot from your speech.
We are looking forward to seeing you next Monday afternoon.
Yours sincerely， Li Hua

第一段：
Finally, it was Brian's turn. Brian took the airplane that he had folded the day before. He walked up to the line and,with all his strength, he threw the plane. It went flying, farther and farther, until finally it landed 10 feet past Paul's plane! The whole school cheered. Brian won the contest. Mr Moose gave him a prize:a toy airplane.
第二段：
Brian won because he tried out many solutions to the problem of how to make an airplane fly very far. He did this by testing out many different designs and comparing the results. When he found the design that worked best and the paper airplane that flew the farthest, he was happy to use it.

1.【原文】W: Look, the sky is almost dark!
M: Oh, the weather forecast is quite accurate. It said that it would rain heavily today.
W: Yes, the weather in summer is so changeable. It was still a sunny day yesterday.
2.【原文】M: Jessie, how about having a picnic together this weekend?
W: I’d love to, but I have to finish my homework on Saturday and work part-time at the bakery on Sunday. We can do it next Sunday.
3.【原文】M: Excuse me, I can’t find Jane Eyre. Could you help me?
W: Oh, sure. Let me check…Well, the last one was checked out an hour ago. You can borrow other books instead.
M: Well, what a pity!
4.【原文】W: Hello, I’m sorry. I wonder if I could change our appointment on Saturday afternoon.
M: It’s OK. So when would it be convenient for you?
W: How about Sunday morning?
M: Alright, it doesn’t make any difference to me.
5.【原文】W: Jack, what do you think of the new teacher?
M: I think he is very humorous. What about you, Nancy?
W: Oh, I think he is quite knowledgeable. However, Angelina doesn’t like his teaching method.
6-7【原文】M: Nancy! I haven’t seen you for ages. Where did you go?
W: Well, I went to New Zealand for a three-month job training.
M: Cool! You can take a good rest now.
W: Oh, I’m afraid not. Ill lead my team to the US for a market research within a week.
M: Your schedule is so crowded!
8-10【原文】W: James, what did you get on Black Friday?
M: Oh, I planned to buy a scarf and a pair of shoes. But I saw a 50% discount on a coat from my favorite brand. So, I spent all my budget on it.
W: That sounds like a real bargain! So how much did you spend at last?
M: $ 500.
W: Nice!
M: How about you, Vivian?
W: Well, I didn’t buy anything. I’ll go to France for a holiday at the end of this month, so I can’t spend money on Black Friday.
M: No wonder you didn’t buy anything.
11-13【原文】W: Johnson, I heard that your college years in Australia are almost coming to an end. Are you going to stay and work there?
M: Of course not. I’ll return to my motherland. But I will go to Britain and France for a graduation trip first.
W: Well, how do you like your school life?
M: Quite colorful. What’s more, professors and classmates are very nice.

M: I will join a company established by a friend of mine.
W: Well, it seems that you’ve got a plan. Good luck!
14-16【原文】M: Sophie, I just came back from Mount Tai. The scenery there is so beautiful!
W: Wow, William, it sounds like you enjoyed the trip. How long have you stayed there?
M: Three days. One or two days is not enough. You know, climbing is hard work, and sometimes I need to rest.
W: Yeah. When did you start your trip?
M: I took the train on the evening of June 5th and arrived there the next morning.
W: Did you come back on the evening of June 8th?
M: No. On the morning of June 9th. A fellow traveler drove back to our city, and he gave me a free ride.
W: Wow, you’re so lucky. You saved some money this way.
M: I couldn’t agree more!
17-20【原文】M: I’m going to talk about an activity that I enjoy doing, and that’s fishing. Actually, I think someone said that fishing’s the most popular hobby in the world. So how do I get ready? Well, if you go fishing, first you have to get up early. Then you need to pack all your equipment and that includes, er, like a long, thin stick, a box to put the fish in and some little things that you need to attract the fish. Also, you need to take some warm clothes. And lastly, you need to take something to drink and maybe a sandwich because you can get hungry. There are lots of places where you can go fishing. Some people go to rivers or lakes, but I live near the beach, so I fish in a small boat. I wear a life jacket (救生衣) ,because I usually boat out to sea alone—about a kilometer—so people can’t always see me. Sometimes it may be dangerous. However, fishing is really quite simple. You just sit and wait. I love it mainly because it’s so peaceful. Also, it’s very exciting when you catch something. All in all, it’s a wonderful activity—it’s like a sport, but you’re just competing with yourself or with the natural world.

22.细节理解题。由“3. Stay in style”（3.保持时尚）下的第二段“As you explore its beautiful corridors (走廊), look for contemporary artworks from around the world— The Langham Hotel has the largest art gathering (more than $1 million worth) in Australia.”（当你探索美丽的走廊时，寻找来自世界各地的当代艺术品——兰厄姆酒店拥有澳大利亚最大的艺术盛会（价值超过100万美元）。），可知兰厄姆酒店拥有澳大利亚最大的艺术盛会，有来自世界各地的当代艺术品，因此它的特别之处在于它收藏了大量的艺术品。故选C项。
23 细节理解题。由“4. Travel tips”（4. 旅游小贴士）下的“Bring sun cream, sunglasses and hat—whatever the season.”（无论什么季节都带防晒霜、太阳镜和帽子。），可知作者建议无论什么季节都要带防晒霜、太阳镜和帽子，这是要读者确保防嗮。故选A项。
B篇
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是阿拉斯加育空河近年来面临鲑鱼严重短缺的问题，科学家们大多将这些问题归咎于气候变化。
24.细节理解题。根据第二段的“The die-offs also hurt native communities, which traditionally store the fish as a year-round food supply(这些鱼类的死广也对当地社区造成了伤害，当地传统上储存这些鱼类作为全年的食物供应。)”可知，当地人靠解鱼来作为食物供应。故选A。
25.细节理解题。根据第三段的“Last month,the U.S.Department of Commerce declared a disaster for Yukon River fishing for 2020 and 2021, making aid money available(上个月，美国商务部宣布育空河渔业在2020年和2021年处于灾难状态，使得援助资金被获得。)”可知，灾难的声明带来了救援资金。故选B。
26.细节理解题。根据倒数第三段的“Climate change may also be affecting what the salmon are eating. Fishing experts say young salmon are likely filling up on nutrient-poor food because warmer waters drive away healthier organisms they normally feed on.(气候变化也可能影响鲑鱼的饮食。渔业专家说，年幼的鲑鱼可能会吃营养不良的食物，因为温暖的海水赶走了它们通常赖以为生的健康生物。)”可知，YukonRiver的气候变化的影响是那里的鲑鱼缺乏营养食物。故选C。
27.推理判断题。根据最后一段的“But scientists still expect salmon to begin slowlymoving to new areas within Alaska.(但科学家仍然预计鲑鱼会开始缓慢地迁移到阿拉斯加的新地区。)”可知，鲑鱼很可能为了生存而离开这条河流。故选D。
C篇
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了当动物们面临危险时，我们是否要伸出援救之手，以及如何去保护它们脱险。
28．细节理解题。根据第二段的“The film crew were anxious when they saw that a group of penguins had fallen into a gully and been trapped with their young. They built a slope (斜坡) so that a few of the penguins could save themselves.(当摄制组看到一群企鹅和它们的幼崽掉进沟里被困在一起时，他们非常焦虑。他们建了一个斜坡，好让几只企鹅能自救。)”和第三段的“The case has taken the international media by storm.(这起案件引起了国际媒体的广泛关注。)”可知，从峡谷中救出企鹅这一事件引起了大家的热议。故选A。

30．词句猜测题。根据上文语境大家对干涉动物的行为有不同观点，结合下文的“you stay out of the way. Even when you’re watching a male polar bear eat a baby bear(你给我闪开。即使你在看一只雄性北极熊吃掉一只幼熊)”可知，这是个捕食的情景，无论你是多么的心碎，你都不能干预。结合四个选项可知，gutwrenching意为“令人痛苦的”，和Making one heartbroken(令人心碎)意思相近，故选B。
31．主旨大意题。阅读文章，并结合第一段“When we see a person in trouble, the first idea that comes to our mind is to lend a hand. But what if we see an animal in trouble, does the same rule apply?(当我们看到一个人有麻烦时，我们想到的第一个想法是伸出援手。但是，如果我们看到一只动物陷入困境，同样的规则也适用吗？)”和第二段“This question was raised after a group of penguins (企鹅) were saved from an icy gully (峡谷) in Antarctica.(这个问题是在一群企鹅从南极洲的冰沟中获救后提出的。)”可知，本文就救助企鹅的视频引发的热议讲述了当动物面临危险时，我们是否要伸出援救之手，以及如何去保护它们脱险。因此，本文的最佳标题应为D选项“Help Animals in Trouble or Not(是否帮助有困难的动物)”。故选D。
D篇
32．细节理解题。根据第一段关键句“As a quiet and shy girl, I feared improvising in front of strangers. However, I knew I wanted to work as a science communicator after finishing my Ph.D., so it seemed like a perfect chance to learn how to speak and communicate with others effectively. I signed up, knowing the experience would give me help.”（作为一个安静害羞的女孩，我害怕在陌生人面前即兴交流。然而，我知道我想在完成博士学位后成为一名科学交流者，因此，这似乎是一个学习如何有效地与他人交谈和沟通的绝佳机会。我报名了，因为我知道这段经历会给我帮助）可知，因为作者打算的完成博士学位后成为一名科学交流者，需要提高与他人交谈和沟通的能力，但她一个安静害羞的女孩，她参加即兴交流课是想要提高自己的交谈和沟通的能力，由此可知，作者参加即兴交流课是为了提高她的交谈和沟通能力。故选D项。
33．细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“The first few scenes were hard, but as weeks turned into months, I became more comfortable and even started to enjoy our classes. I became better at listening, relating to my conversation partners, and communicating clearly in the moment.”（最初的几个场景很难，但随着上了几个月课后，我变得更舒服了，甚至开始享受我们的课程。我变得更善于倾听，更善于与我的谈话伙伴交流，也更善于在这一刻清晰地沟通）可知，在上了几周课后，作者变得更善于倾听，更善于与谈话伙伴交流，也更善于清晰地沟通，由此可知，作者参加即兴交流课后的变化是：在发表意见之前，她成了一个很好的倾听者。故选D项。
34．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段关键句“Before attending the class, I would get stuck when my experiments produced unexpected data, thinking that I had made a mistake. But now, instead of getting discouraged, I will stay open to the possibility that the results are real, keep exploring the data and end up identifying a new type of cell—one that isn’t behaving as expected.”（在上课之前，当我的实验产生意想不到的数据时，我会被卡住，觉得自己犯了一个错误。但是现在，我不会灰心，而是会对结果是真实的可能性保持开放态度，继续探索数据，最终发现一种新类型的细胞——一种不符合预期的细胞）和最后一段关键句“I think all scientists can benefit from this lesson.”（我认为所有的科学家都能从这个课中受益）可知，运用了“yes, and”方法，让作者在进行科学实验的过程中受益，她会对意想不到的结果持开放态度，继续研究，最终有了意想不到的科学发现，她认为所有的科学家都能从这个课中受益，由此可知，作者提到在她的科学实验中运用“yes, and”的方法是为了证明即兴交流课的好处。故选B项。
35．推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“If the data say rhinos are librarians, then it’s worth finding out whether rhinos are, in fact, librarians. As scientists, our job isn’t to challenge data that support, a preconceived story, but to say “yes, and.””（如果数据显示犀牛是图书管理员，那么就有必要了解犀牛是否是图书管理员。作为科学家，我们的工作不是去挑战支持一个事先形成的描述的数据，而是说“yes, and”）可知，作者认为面对之前的科学数据，我们的工作并不是去挑战它，而是要接受它，并继续研究，探索真伪，由此可知，从最后一段可以推断出科学家应该通过接受早期数据进行研究。故选C项。
